Convention Paper

High Resolution Horizontal Arrays for Sound Stages and Room Acoustics: Concepts and Benefits

Authors: Bradter, Cornelius; Ju, Kichel

AES Convention 145 · Paper 10074 · October 2018

Abstract

Wavefield-synthesis systems were the first to apply large horizontal arrays for sound reproduction and live sound. While there has been some success for experimental music or sound art, results for music and live sound are limited. The reasons for this are array sound quality, insufficient sound pressure level, spatial aliasing, and interference and inflexible array control algorithm. Nevertheless, the application of high resolution horizontal arrays with appropriate array control systems produces exceptional sound quality, extensive flexibility to adjust to acoustic conditions, and remarkable control over sound distribution. Advanced systems can overcome many shortcomings in traditional sound systems. This paper describes the concepts and technology of high performance HRH-arrays and their utilization for church sound through examples of application in Korean churches.
